Jess/Rory (Gilmore Girls), Sokeefe (KOTLC), Violet/Duncan (ASOUE), and Shirbert

don’t know the second, don’t have strong opinions about the third, and already answered the last so doing this for Jess and Rory.

Coffee shop AU: Who is the barista, and who frequents the coffee shop?

Jess works as the barista and Rory is the grad student that does 90% of her work there. Yes, it’s because they have great coffee and totally doesn’t have anything to do with the cute barista. Sometimes, when it’s late and there’s not too many customers he comes over and talks to her about what she’s learning in her journalism degree or to talk about books they’ve both read. She likes it.

Highschool/College AU: Who is the straight-A student, and who’s the backrow slacker?

I think we all know this one, like Rory would ever be a slacker.

Rivals to loves AU: Who takes their rivalry seriously, and who is half in it just to push the other’s buttons?

I can see it both ways. 1) Rory takes everything seriously. Jess noticed this and likes that he’s thinking of her at all so he plays it up. 2) Jess forms a bit of a rivalry with Rory who’s still at her old public school. Rory originally ignores it, but then Luke notices that he got a 92% on his english test in an attempt to one up Rory. Luke begs her to play into their rivalry so he can do well in at least one class. She does, and quickly finds it’s actually hard to stay at the top of the class with him actually trying. Also, to the surprise of even Luke, his other class marks start to go up. He graduates, and even wins an award from his english teacher. 

Enemies to lovers AU: Which one switches sides?

Jess doesn’t care enough about anything to care about not switching sides.

Soulmate AU: Who is eager to meet their soulmate? Who absolutely does not want to meet their soulmate?

Rory isn’t that eager to met him, but everyone around her is so excited for her. Lorelei never got to meet her soulmate since the words on her arm were super vague and meaningless so when Rory had some fairly specific ones they are all really happy for her. Lorelei puts it all the expectations on Rory and she, well, isn’t as excited as she is. Jess, on the other had, pretends he’s not that interested in the whole thing because he wants to maintain his tough exterior. But secretly? He lies awake late at night looking at the words over and over again. 

Doctor AU: Which one is the long suffering doctor? Which one is the patient?

Rory is the doctor, Jess is the patient. He comes in every three months or so, with some scrap or another. He does skateboarding and gets injured a lot. One time he comes in with a broken leg. Rory is like “why would you do this to yourself?” and Jess is like “well, it’s not so bad. I get to see this really cute doctor” with that little smile or his. This time he has to stay for a while, overnight in fact, so he and Rory get a lot more time to talk. He also has to come back every two weeks to get x-rays and check ups and he and Rory take lunch together every time. The day he gets his cast off, he asks Rory out on a date and to everyone’s surprise she says yes. 

Bodyguard AU: Who is the bodyguard? Who are they protecting? Which one is secretly pining for the other?

Jess is the bodyguard and Rory works for the UN, trying to pass legislation to move cities towards green energy. She’s been getting lots of death threats lately and her bosses send her a bodyguard to protect her. he is secretly pinning after her, which makes his job pretty hard. Eventually, after he saves her life a few time she starts to developed feelings for him too but insisted that it was just because he had saved her life. But even after he left and was replaced with a different bodyguard (he had requested a transfer for some reason) she still felt for him. So she texts him, asking him why he transferred and he says it’s because he was in love with her and couldn’t do his job properly and she deserves someone who could give his full attention to protecting him and sadly he wasn’t that person. She texts him back saying that she had feelings for him too. They agree to have coffee together. Eventually, they move in together. Jess still works as a bodyguard, but stops when they get married.

Pirate AU: Who is the pirate? Who is the member of the royal family who did not sign up for this?

Jess is the pirate. Rory is the granddaughter of the kings and queen and they kidnap her because she’s a much easier target for randsom than anyone in the palace. But they treat her really well and when she learns that if they accept the randsom she would be forced to live with them full time and wouldn’t be able to see her mother again she begs Jess to take her away and not accept the trade. He had never had a hostage telling him not to take money that would release her. He tells her he needs the money too bad, he has people to pay and mouthes to feed. But he says that he will stay in a bay nearby the castle till the next dawn. If she can find a way to escape the palace, he will take her away, but only for a year. This was dangerous because if she called the guards and told them where he was he would be done for but there was something about her. He wanted her to come back and be with him. She does, and they sail the sees together for an entire year together before coming back to the palace. She is sad to leave him, but her sadness goes away when the next day it is revealed that he applied to be one of the Royal Navy’s Privateers (basically state-sanctioned pirates). He eventually makes his way up in the royal navy and earns the favour of the king and queen, and goes to visit Lorelei once a week and takes a letter back to Rory to keep her in touch with her mom. When he proposes, the entire kingdom celebrates.

Childhood best friends AU: Which one was super obviously in love with the other the whole time? Who was oblivious until they were older?

Rory is in love with Jess in elementary school. In middle school she gets over him and starts to date Dean. That’s when Jess starts to notice her. In high school, she and Dean break up because her old feelings for Jess start to resurface. Jess’s feelings for her begin to ramp up as well. But they don’t ever actually confront those feelings. They just keep them to themselves. At least they try to. On the day of graduation it accidentally comes out through Rory never having had alcohol before and thought two glasses of champagne to be a good start. They start dating immediately.

Shirbert, plz.

Coffee shop AU: Who is the barista, and who frequents the coffee shop?

So, first off Gilbert is a sleep deprived doctor who need coffee every three hours or he will literally collapse. It also doesn’t help that the barista in the hospital coffee shop is really pretty. He even talks to her some times if he’s pulling the midnight shift and there’s no one around. She’s going to grad school for creative writting and, ironically, doesn’t drink coffee. Prefers tea apparently. Gilbert is kind of suspicious she might be an alien. 

Next Christmas he gives her a bag of really good earl grey tea. She gives him his large coffee with four shots of expresso on the house. A couple months later she invites him to her birthday party. Well, her friend Diana was there dropping off a dress for Anne to wear when Gilbert came in to get his third cup of coffee and she invited him. It was a flapper dress, since Anne was turning 25 and celebrating her roaring 20s with a roaring 20s party. Later that month he got over his nerves and asked her out. She said yes, and later it is revealed that Bash won the hospital betting pool the doctors and nurses set up.

Highschool/College AU: Who is the straight-A student, and who’s the backrow slacker?

Anne is the straight A student. She raises her hand at every opportunity and knows every answer to every question. Her notes were the most meticulous in the entire school. Gilbert, the exact opposite. He never raises his hand, never takes any notes, and never pays attention either. The weird thing? Anne is only 2nd in her class. Gilbert is first. No matter how hard she tries, he tries less, and she still losses to him. Every single time. It doesn’t help that Mr. Phillips kinda hates Anne and gives Gilbert praise just to spite her. Eventually, they join the debate club and their rivalry goes into overdrive. Well, it’s kind of one sided. Anne tries furiously, Gilbert doesn’t try at all. 

Rivals to loves AU: Who takes their rivalry seriously, and who is half in it just to push the other’s buttons?

Just like above, Anne takes their rivalry very seriously but Gilbert just likes the idea of her thinking about him at all. 

Enemies to lovers AU: Which one switches sides?

Gilbert would do anything for Anne, including changing sides. 

Soulmate AU: Who is eager to meet their soulmate? Who absolutely does not want to meet their soulmate?

Anne wants to meet her soulmate so god damn badly. It’s all she’s dreamed about her entire life. At 12 years old, she waits eagerly with Diana to see the first words he will say to her. Then she sees them. “Carrots.” Her face goes as red as her hair. Diana, well versed in Anne’s self esteem issues, immediately assures her that it might not be as bad as it sounds. A few months later, in a nearby hospital, Gilbert and his father stay up late into the night waiting for the words to appear. “Back off, and leave me alone.” Gilbert didn’t know what to say to that. “Well, at least she knows how to speak her mind,” her father said. 

Two years later, his dad is finally out of chemo and they move out of Charlottetown and back to their small village of Avonlea to a very warm welcome. When Anne first sees him and asks about him (she had come to Avonlea after he had left for Charlottetown.) A very nice boy, apparently. Good, he wasn’t someone who would, for example, call her carrots. Josie sees Anne’s smile and quickly reminds her and everyone else that Gilbert belongs to Ruby (Ruby’s soulmate says “hi” the first time he sees her. It did not narrow it down much, so Ruby decided through the power of delusion that it’s Gilbert). Anne nods, and knows that he’s not her soulmate so she should back off. He sees her too, and is entranced. 

In class, they are reading Pride and Prejudice. Anne is completely absorbed in by the book and Gilbert is completely absorbed by Anne. He tries to get her attention but can’t. He leans over to her desk and in a moment of frustration pulls her hair and calls her “Carrots”. She swivels around and uses the hardcover book she was reading to smack him upside the head. “Back off and leave me alone,” she said instinctively, then realised what he had said. He realised what she had said. A small smile spread across his face as horror consumed hers. 

Gilbert pursues her, knowing that they would end up together. Anne is in totally in denial, insisting that just because hers says carrots and his says back off doesn’t mean they are actually soulmates. Eventually, Anne comes around. They have their first kiss and then get married and no, she never again doubted that they belonged together.

Single parent AU: Which one is the single parent? (Alt. if they’re both single parents: Which one is open to starting a new relationship from the start? Which one is never planning on finding love again… Until they meet the other and are instantly smitten?)

Gilbert is the single father to Delphine. Originally her godfather he was forced to assume the role of single parent when her parents died in a care accident. His entire life revolves around her and he would never do anything to jeopardize her happiness. Which is awful because he has been developing a little bit of a crush on her 4th grade teacher, Miss Shirley-Cuthbert. Featuring a young Delphine that attempts to parent trap her dad and her teacher together. Spoiler alert: it works.

Doctor AU: Which one is the long suffering doctor? Which one is the patient?

We all know this one: Gilbert is a doctor. Anne is his clumsy patient.

Bodyguard AU: Who is the bodyguard? Who are they protecting? Which one is secretly pining for the other?

Anne is a highly successful romance writer. Gilbert is meant to protect her. But he has fallen in love with her, and that’s making his job complicated. Anne has found herself having a “protector” side character in every one of her recent books. There was a white knight in “Midnight at Morningstar Castle” who layed down his life to protect the heroine. The scientist in “Stars Above” spent the entire book keeping the heroine safe and though she was in outer space and could only see him though a tiny screen she described him as “incredibly handsome” three times. “Tough Choices in Tough Times” had the protector in the love triangle this time, since he was a humble farmer in the great depression trying to make sure the heroine didn’t have to sell her farm even though she has feelings for the bank manager’s son and if she accepted his marriage proposal she wouldn’t have to worry about the farm. In the end, the bank manager’s son left the bank to live with her on the farm and work the land with her, but there was a lot of fans who liked the protective farmer better. Now she’s nervous because her next book is straight up about a famous gunslinger meant to escort the young daughter of a not so well liked politician across the country to her new fiancée but ends up leaving him to be with her gunslinger. The thing is, she wrote this alone. She only sees Gilbert whenever she goes on a book our so how does she travel across the country with him in 20-ish different cities across the country without letting him know what the book is about because then he might think it’s about him (it totally is, the cowboy is literally called Gilmore) and wacky highjinks ensues.

Pirate AU: Who is the pirate? Who is the member of the royal family who did not sign up for this?

Anne is a pirate and I'm pretty sure I already started this one.

Childhood best friends AU: Which one was super obviously in love with the other the whole time? Who was oblivious until they were older?

It was super obvious to everyone except Anne that Gilbert was in love with her. But it wasn’t till their 10 year reunion that Gilbert confessed to Anne. The next day, Anne broke off her engagement to Roy and asked him if maybe he still had those feelings. He did. They showed up to their 20 year reunion with 3 children.

I love the implication behind him saying “that’s not why I’m here” directly before “It’s really good to see you.” He’s there to see her.

Can you imagine Bash thought? He’s been shipping them since before he’s even met Anne. He did that little dance when he only thought they would get together. Can you imagine him reacting to them getting engaged? He’d be over the moon! They would be happy together!

considering how happy gilbert was after his date with winnie (humming, putting the flower in his pocket, being just overall in a good mood) i would absolutely kill to see him over-the-moon ecstatic about being with anne, especially since he’s been pining after her for years, and is actually in love with her. it’s criminal we only got a glimpse of him being happy about it

[anneshirleywasmychildhood]

Bold of you to assume Diana wouldn’t have spotted the wonderful opportunity for romance and been the one who suggested Gilbert carried Anne.

Anne sprains her ankle (either doing that roof top dare from the books or doing some other recklessly dangerous activity)

Gilbert is there and sees that her ankle needs to be wrapped up and iced. His house is closer than Green Gables, plus he has some supplies there so he tells Anne they need to head back to his house. They walk back most of the way with Anne leaning on Gilbert and Diana’s shoulders as she tries to keep as much weight off her twisted ankle as possible. When they get to the front steps of the house though, Gilbert decides it would just be easier if he lifted Anne up bridal style and carried her through the front door. Diana rushes to open the door for them.

Who should be sitting at the kitchen table to see them all come in but Bash. And Bash never misses an opportunity for teasing, so when he sees Gilbert carry Anne into the kitchen he immediately jokes “Blythe, you’re supposed to marry her before you carry her over the threshold you know”

My parents: I see your googling a lot of photos of the Covid 19 hospital rooms and what the doctors are doing to respond to it. It’s nice that your staying informed.

Me, quickly closing my Shirbert Quarantine AU: Yes. That’s why I’m doing this. To stay informed. No other reason.

[anneshirleywasmychildhood]

Shirbert Quarentine AU where Anne, Diana, and Cole are roommates who live together because they are all humanities students who are making minimum wage and Gilbert has his own apartment because he’s a doctor. 

He’s working overtime at the hospital but he need someone to get to his apartment and water his plants and walk his dog while he’s stuck at the hospital. Anne volunteers to go over, but spends so much time walking over there three times a day, breaking the social isolation rules, Gilbert asks her if she can just stay over there and social isolate from his apartment. She does because he’s a doctor and under so much pressure already and because his apartment is nicer than hers and Diana is constantly practicing her piano and Anne can’t concentrate. So she’s at his apartment all day long and actually really likes it. Gilbert sometimes gets to come home to sleep or stuff and she takes care of him, makes sure he’s eating, sleeping, and taking care of himself so he can take care of others. 

Anne sleeps in his bed because it’s the only one in the apartment unless he’s there then she sleeps on his couch. One night, though, he comes home and she’s already asleep in his bed. He’s exhausted so just gets into bed next to her. They wake up together the next morning when the alarm clock goes off. They both pretend it’s purely functional and didn’t mean anything but actually really like it and the yearning begins.
